New Puppy & Kitten Exams

At this first visit you, your pet and your vet begin to form the relationship that will last for your pet’s lifetime. We like to take our time with these visits to:

Give your puppy or kitten a thorough pet wellness exam

Talk with you about concerns you may have

Offer health care and training advice

Provide you with a special Welcome Kit

Talk about the best ways to promote your pet’s long and happy life.

We offer free exams to Existing Clients who adopt pets through the Nebraska Humane Society. The free exam must take place within 72 hours of adoption.

Junior Wellness Pet Exams

During these exams we:

Assess your pet’s overall wellness

Discuss any changes you may have noticed in your pet

Address general wellness issues such as dental care, nutrition & exercise and more

With your approval, we may screen for any breed-specific problems

A complete physical exam will also include routine blood work. This will help:

Identify the presence of underlying disease that may not be evident on physical exam.

Create a baseline should your pet become ill in the future.

Senior Wellness Pet Exams

As your pet enters his or her senior years–generally at about 6 to 7 years of age–regular exams become even more essential. We recommend annual to semi-annual senior wellness exams, which include comprehensive blood work and a urinalysis to detect the early signs of age-related disease processes.

Depending on your pet’s physical exam, further screening (such as electrocardiogram, blood pressure, radiographs) may also be recommended. Be assured that we will take the time to explain all of the recommended tests as well as the results.
